MRE Review: Chocolate Diary Shake

Chocolate Diary Shake By Todd Farino

All that I have to say is wow!. In all my time of eating MREs, I never tasted a shake. The tought of it repulsed me. A milky shake made of water from an MRE? I was wrong. I finally decided to open up the shake and give it a try. I followed the direction and fill the package up to the fill line or 6 ounces of water. Just in case you don't know, there is no need for a cup or spoon to stir. You tear open the package and unzip it and pour in the water.
After you ziplock it closed, you shake it and I'd shake it for a good minute straight. It doesn't come with a straw, but if you have one that is the best way to drink it. The other way is to drink it from the pouch.
It was delicious. When you first taste it, you may taste some power, but it's like cocoa powder. The texture is almost the same as a chocolate shake, your basic chocolate with a mikly texture. I'm not sure if the chemical gets cold on it's own, but I used cold water for the shake. If you have cold water, then the colder the better as it makes your shake more realistic. The shake was an enjoyable dessert and one I'd look forward too.
